It's almost a relief that my skills are not needed at this point in the project. Wait...I have skills that were needed and/or utilized? Don't answer that, please.

It's supposed to be a whopping 117 on Saturday here. Then the weather folks say our monsoon season (the "season of suffering") begins starting a bit early this year with rain possible from Sunday onwards. Of course, it won't actually rain until they say there's no chance of it raining, then it'll pour.

Kevin: Pick up engine!

Toasty: Weld things on.

Me: Well, I CAN spray paint things that Toasty welds on. Maybe that's my 'special purpose.'

WrenchWench: Tolerate our intrusions, please. Feel free to pressure wash everything the hose can reach. Use the engine hoist to lift sections of the sidewalk up or to put your neighbor's cars on really tall jack stands. And keep drawing. Bob would want it that way. You know, Bob. The one on your wall in your living room.

Again, let me know if you want me to bring over the motorcycle lift and/or the engine stand.
